Crispin Lilly, Chief Executive Officer of Everyman Media Group PLC said:

"The appetite for Everyman has never been stronger with our continued roll-out allowing us to deliver exceptional experiences to more audiences across the UK with our increasing footprint. As a result, we have seen progress across both our financial and operational KPIs, with growth in revenue and operating profit driven by increasing admissions and F&B spend. This has resulted in the record market share we are reporting today."

"Our ambitious roll out continues both in the UK and with our first international site, which is due to open in Ireland next year. We are confident that there is significant room for expansion. We look forward to delivering our proven model to additional communities in both countries in the current period and beyond."

Chairman's Statement

Once again, I am pleased to be reporting on a strong period of growth, where the Group has continued to live up to its ambitions and customers have continued to embrace and enjoy our Everyman offer all throughout the UK; from Glasgow in the North, Chelmsford in the East, Horsham in the South and Bristol in the West. We have further expanded our geographic footprint, now operating 28 venues across the UK, and have continued to deliver high quality and engaging experiences for our customers. This has resulted in an increase in both the number of admissions and average spend on food and beverage.

Everyman's place in today's world

We believe that the entire experience is what defines cinema, and this is the heart of what we do at Everyman. It is not only the film, but all of its complementary components. The venue, food, drink and staff, all make up the experience.

There is significant appetite for all forms of entertainment, with continued strong leisure spend in the UK*, and cinema continues to be a much loved medium. In 2018, there were 177 million admissions, the highest since 1970, and in the same year there were around 900 film and event cinema releases theatrically. This is a huge opportunity for growth in the UK; not only have we continued to take more market share over the reported period, from 2.5% in the first six months of 2018, to 3.0% in 2019, but we are also set to benefit from being part of an expanding market. Importantly, Everyman's venues, location, food, drink, staff and film make us relevant, modern and much loved within our communities, making us less dependent on any specific film or upcoming slate.

These market dynamics and diverse content provide us with the foundation to continue expanding our footprint and to be confident that the appetite to consume the Everyman offer continues to go from strength to strength.

Enhancing local communities

We are proud of the positive impact that our venues are having on high streets and communities.

Our aim is to breathe new life into public spaces, either through regeneration, or new developments. The Newcastle venue was previously a nightclub, which had lain disused for four years. It has now become a beautiful space with screens able to seat 200 people at capacity, and with a premium menu that can be enjoyed either in the bar or through a waiter service to the cinema seats. Meanwhile, in Horsham we were proud to be the key leisure anchor of a broader redevelopment project in the town centre.

More recently we added a further screen at Gerrards Cross and completed a significant refurbishment of our Walton-On-Thames venue, illustrating our long term commitment to maintaining the standard of our older venues and also providing us with an uplift in local trade.

Building our team

In the period, we have bolstered our committed and enthusiastic team to over 900 in total, including key hires in digital marketing and finance as well as local venue managers to support our growth ambitions.

Elizabeth Lake joined us as Chief Financial Officer post-period end, on 16 September 2019. Elizabeth is an excellent addition to the team and will support the Group as we continue to grow.

Continued momentum

Our business model and offering has been proven to work across the UK and has once again proved its success over the last six months. Trading since the period end has been robust, and we continue to trade in line with expectations for the full year.

We have innovative and ambitious plans for the remainder of the year and beyond and remain confident and excited of what lies ahead.

Paul Wise

Chairman

23 September 2019

Chief Executive's Statement

The first half of 2019 was a demonstration of Everyman's ability to not only deliver, but to deliver ahead of the market, with our box office market share growing significantly to 3.0% from 2.5% for the same period in 2018. This has been predominantly driven by an increase in the number of venues, and the box office performance of our existing estate continues to perform well alongside an improved spend per head on food and beverages.

Growth has been delivered across revenue and operating profit, with all of our KPIs showing an improvement. A reflection of our quality F&B offering, spend per head grew to GBP6.95, up 13.2%. This was driven partly by our estate expansion with new venues having larger and better equipped bars, but also the continued menu development and an ongoing investment in the use of technology to improve service across all venues.

Alongside our commercial progress, the business continued on its ambitious path to further expand its footprint, with the opening of our Horsham and Newcastle venues, with seven screens between them. Furthermore, we delivered a successful 'Summer Love' outdoor pop-up experience at Kings Cross and announced several new partnerships with renowned F&B brands, alongside launching the Everyman app, to further enhance the customer experience.

Business model and growth strategy

Delivering exceptional leisure experiences to all

Everyman's business model is simple; our aim is to further build our portfolio of venues whilst successfully growing our existing estate by bringing together great food, drink, atmosphere, service and of course film, to create exceptional experiences for our customers.

Our growth strategy is multi-faceted:

i. Expanding the geographical footprint by establishing new venues in order to reach new customers

   ii.     Continually evolving the quality of experience and breadth of choice we offer at our venues 

iii. Engaging in effective brand and marketing activity, to expand awareness of Everyman and increase the frequency of visits from our existing loyal customers.

Our model is one that delivers financial benefits, with the premium experience warranting a premium price point, and with more revenue-generating activities offered than the traditional cinema. As we grow, we also benefit from increasingly efficient central costs, allowing top line revenue growth to drop to bottom line.

Progress against strategy

KPIs

The Group uses the following key performance indicators, in addition to total revenue, to monitor the progress of the Group's activities:

* 2018 was a 53 week year with extra week in the 27 weeks ended 5 July 2018

Progress in the Group's KPIs is driven by a number of factors: acquiring more customers, encouraging more frequent visits to venues, upgrading customers onto membership schemes and the provision of a broader range of opportunities to spend during the visits.

Enhancing the Everyman experience

Maintaining a focus on enhancing the quality of its venues, F&B offering, staff service and content programming is vital for Everyman and its continued growth.

Our Everyman venues are each uniquely designed to deliver stylish, welcoming and comfortable spaces using high quality materials whether within a brand new building or an older, traditional space.

In addition to the GBP0.25m refurbishment of our Walton On Thames venue, we invested GBP1.0m building a completely new third screen at Gerrards Cross along with an expanded bar and new kitchen now capable of serving our full Spielburger menu. These investments are important to maintain the customer experience and continued profitability of existing venues such as Walton, or as additional stand-alone investment opportunities such as Gerrards Cross.

As our best asset and at the front line of delivering an exceptional experience to our customers, we are committed to ensuring that our teams are fully supported, developed and provided with outstanding opportunities. As such, amongst a number of initiatives, we introduced new means of internal communications across the Group to drive collaboration and enhanced our training programmes to support our staff's development. I would like to thank all our teams for their unrelenting enthusiasm, passion, hard work and exceptional delivery in the period.

We were very pleased to have launched our Everyman app in June and have subsequently launched an updated version this month. The app will enhance the Everyman customer journey with improved access to upcoming venue schedules and booking, food and drink functionality, and Apple music. The technology we use as part of our infrastructure has also been upgraded to ensure we remain cutting edge, including the implementation of the next iteration of Vista (EPOS) software which delivers better remote functionality for our bar teams and the adoption of Apple music playlists throughout our venues.

The Everyman offering was once again expanded in the period, with partnerships announced with key brands including Apple, Green & Blacks, Wild Turkey, Grey Goose, Campari and American Airline. Not only have these initiatives proven to be revenue-generating, but they also broaden our audience reach and enhance the experience they have in venue.

Expansion of our geographic footprint

We were delighted to have opened a three-screen venue in Horsham and a four-screen venue in Newcastle during the period.

In addition, we were pleased to announce that we have plans in place to open our first international venue in Dublin, Ireland. International expansion represents an entirely incremental opportunity for Everyman and one we will look to pursue cautiously. There remains however continued scope for significant expansion in the UK and we will continue our ambitious roll-out in our primary market.

Whilst continuing to grow our pipeline at an exciting pace, we remain as diligent as ever in ensuring that each opportunity is correct for our business and is fully funded at the time of agreement. As with all investment opportunities, we ensure it fits our strict criteria and a minimum financial return on capital invested on any new project.

Building the Everyman brand

Everyman's marketing activity is focused on creating memorable moments and events, exceeding customer expectations, and fostering and garnering strong authentic word of mouth advocacy. In the period, we have hosted several events including our 'Summer Love' pop up cinema at Kings Cross, our fifth annual Everyman Film Festival and many Q&A sessions with high profile individuals in the film community, such as Danny Boyle and Alex Garland.

Delivering on our ambitions

We have a further 15 committed venues, with a variety of lead times through to 2022. In addition, we have a further eight sites on which we have instructed lawyers and we continue to consider a range of new opportunities, some that can be delivered quickly, often within twelve months, once signed. Specifically, we look forward to opening London Broadgate, Manchester St Johns, Clitheroe, Wokingham and Cardiff before the end of the calendar year.

Alongside geographic expansion, we will continue to enhance the quality of experience for our customers and develop our F&B offerings.

Trading in the first 26 weeks of 2019 was robust and has continued in line with expectations post period. The Board is confident of meeting expectations for the full year and driving growth in the period ahead.

Chief Executive Officer

23 September 2019

Chief Financial Officer's Statement

Revenue for the period was up 16.1% on last year to GBP28.9 million (5 July 2018: GBP24.9 million, full year to 3 January 2019: GBP51.9 million). This result is particularly pleasing given the extra week of trading in the 2018 comparable period.

The Group's adjusted operating profit before depreciation, amortisation, pre-opening expenses, and share-based payments was GBP6.6 million (5 July 2018: GBP4.1 million, full year to 3 January 2019: GBP9.2 million). The pre-IFRS16 equivalent as has historically been reported would have been GBP4.9 million for the period.

The Group generated a profit for the period of GBP0.6 million (Pre-IFRS equivalent GBP1.1 million, 5 July 2018 GBP0.8 million, full year to 3 January 2019 GBP2.0 million). The impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 has resulted in a reduction in reported profit due to the charge for depreciation on right-of-use assets and the interest charge on lease liabilities being greater than the charge for rent that would have been reported pre IFRS 16. The interest charge on the lease liabilities is higher in the earlier years of a lease, as a significant number of the Group's leases are relatively new, this has resulted in a reduction in reported profit. This net impact on reported profit is GBP0.5 million.

The effective tax rate is lower than the standard rate of corporation tax for the six-month period ended 4 July 2019 due to the effect of deferred tax arising from the valuation of share options (both exercised and unexercised).

The share-based payment expense for the period was GBP0.4 million (5 July 2018: GBP0.2 million, full year to 3 January 2019: GBP0.5 million) reflecting share option incentives provided to the Group's management and employees.

The Board does not recommend the payment of a dividend at this stage of the Group's development.

Cash flows

Net cash generated in operating activities was GBP2.9 million (5 July 2018 cash used: GBP2.3 million from operating activities, full year to 3 January 2019: GBP7.6 million generated from operating activities). Net cash outflows for the year, before financing, were GBP6.0 million (July 2018: GBP9.3 million, full year to 3 January 2019: GBP15.5 million). This is largely represented by capital expenditure GBP8.4 million on the expansion of the business through build costs and refurbishment of venues.

The movement in trade and other payables in the period is largely due to construction invoices relating to the new venues in Horsham and Newcastle.

Cash held at the end of the period was GBP1.9 million (5 July 2018: GBP3.1 million, 3 January 2019: GBP3.5 million). The cash held will be invested in the continuing development and expansion of the Group's business.

The Group has access to a GBP30m facility of which GBP11m was drawn by the end of the period.

Openings and capital expenditure

During the period, the Group opened a new three-screen venue in Horsham at the end of March 2019, and a four-screen cinema in Newcastle at the beginning of May 2019.

During the period the Group exchanged contracts on further venues at Kings Road Chelsea, Dawson Street Dublin and Egham. This is in addition to the pre-existing contracts for London Broadgate, Cardiff, Manchester, Clitheroe, Northallerton, Plymouth, Lincoln, London's Borough Market, Tunbridge Wells, Durham, Wokingham and Edinburgh.

The Group continues to invest in its infrastructure and head office to support the growth of new venues, investment in capital spend was GBP8.8 million, of which GBP8.4 million was on venues, the remainder being development of the Everyman App and general infrastructure.

       of cinemas in the United Kingdom. Everyman Media Group

 2    Basis of preparation and accounting 
       policies 
 
      These condensed interim financial statements of the Group 
       for the period ended 4 July 2019 have been prepared using 
       accounting policies consistent with International Financial 
       Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European 
       Union. The same accounting policies, presentation and 
       methods of computation are followed in the condensed set 
       of financial statements as applied in the Group's latest 
       audited financial statements for the year ended 3 January 
       2019. Amendments made to IFRSs, specifically IFRS9 and 
       IFRS15, since 3 January 2019, have not had a material 
       effect on the Group's results or financial position for 
       the period. IFRS16 has had a material impact as described 
       in the proceeding notes. 
 
 
 
 
      The financial statements presented in this report have 
       been prepared in accordance with IFRSs applicable to interim 
       periods. However, as permitted, this interim report has 
       been prepared in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies 
       and does not seek to comply with IAS34 "Interim Financial 
       Reporting". 
 
      These condensed interim financial statements have not 
       been audited, do not include all of the information required 
       for full annual financial statements and should be read 
       in conjunction with the Group's statutory consolidated 
       annual financial statements for the year ended 3 January 
       2019. 
       IFRS16 Leases 
       Effective 1 January 2019, IFRS16 has replaced IAS17 and 
       IFRIC4 (Determining whether an arrangement contains a 
       lease). 
       The Group adopted IFRS16 using the modified retrospective 
       approach on transition, recognising leases at the carried 
       forward value had they been treated as such from inception, 
       without restatement of comparative figures. On adoption 
       of IFRS16, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and 
       lease liabilities in relation to cinema venues, office 
       space and cars. These had previously been classified as 
       operating leases, including any lease incentives, favourable 
       leases and market rent provisions. 
       Right-of-use assets are measured on transition and during 
       the period as follows: 
       - Venues and office space: at an amount equal to the lease 
       liability less any lease incentives, favourable leases 
       and market rent provisions 
       - Cars: at an amount equal to the lease liability 
       The right-of-use assets at 4 July 2019 were GBP46.8m. 
       Lease liabilities are measured on transition at the carried 
       forward present value of the remaining lease payments 
       discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate 
       at 1 January 2019 of 3.2%. During the period lease liabilities 
       are measured at the present value of the lease payments 
       discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate 
       at inception of each lease (3.2% average during the period). 
       The lease liabilities at 4 July 2019 were GBP60.7m, with 
       GBP2.1m due within 12 months. 
       The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease 
       liabilities on transition is an adjustment to retained 
       earnings. Included in profit and loss for the period is 
       GBP1.2m depreciation of right-of-use assets and GBP1m 
       financial expenses on lease liabilities.

      A reduction in the UK corporation tax rate from 21% to 
       20% (effective from 1 April 2015) was substantively enacted 
       on 2 July 2013. Further reductions to 19% (effective from 
       1 April 2017) and to 18% (effective 1 April 2020) were 
       substantively enacted on 26 October 2015 and an additional 
       reduction to 17% (effective 1 April 2020) was substantively 
       enacted on 6 September 2016. This will reduce the Group's 
       future current tax charge accordingly. The deferred tax 
       at 4 July 2019 has been calculated based in these rates.

   lease liabilities and equivalent right-of-use assets less 
   any lease incentives, favourable leases and market rent 
   provisions. The Group opted to use a modified retrospective 
   approach by recognising the leases at the carried forward 
   value had they been treated as such from inception. This 
   is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings of 
   GBP3.1m. After accounting for newly-signed leases, contributions 
   from landlords and depreciating existing right-of-use 
   assets by GBP1.2m, the resulting figure carried forward 
   of GBP46.8m is shown in non-current assets. 
 
 
 
 7    Lease liabilities 
  Implementation of IFRS16 Leases accounting standard 
   in the period 
 
  After accounting for newly-signed leases, repayments of 
   existing leases and financing costs of GBP1m, the resulting 
   figure carried forward of GBP60.7m is shown in current 
   and non-current lease liabilities. 
 
 8    Acquisition of Group companies

   PLC. The consideration in excess of net assets acquired 
   was accounted for as acquisition of non-controlling interests 
   without any resulting change in control of GBP1.5m.
